Report #5869

[architecture] Sharing a single vector store namespace across users, causing cross-tenant data leaks

Enforce strict namespace or tenant isolation at the vector store collection/partition level. Use metadata filtering with user\_id or session\_id as a hard constraint on every query.

Journey Context:
To save costs, developers often dump all user memories into one collection and rely on the LLM to sort it out. The LLM will inevitably leak User A's data to User B if the vectors are similar. Metadata filtering is computationally cheaper and 100% reliable for isolation compared to relying on semantic separation. The tradeoff is slightly higher indexing overhead vs. catastrophic data leakage.
